EAGLE EDITORIALS
LET US BE THANKFUL THAT
WE ARE AMERICANS—
THE FOLLOWING editorial is reprinted
from “The New York Sun”:
He is an American.
He hears an airplane overhead, and if
he looks up at all does so in curiosity, neither
in fear nor in the hope of seeing a protector.
His wife goes marketing and her pur­
chases are limited by her needs, her tastes,
her budget, but not by decree.
He comes home of an evening through
streets which are well lighted, not dimly in
blue.
He reads his newspaper and knows that
what it says is not concocted by a bureau,
but an honest, untrammeled effort to pre­
sent the truth.
He has never had a gas mask on.
He has never been in a bomb-proof

shelter.
His military training, an R. O. T. C.
course in college, he took because it excused
him from the gym course and it was not com­
pulsory.
He belongs to such fraternal organiza-
ions and clubs as 1.2 v, LLcs.
He adheres to a political party to the
extent that he desires—the dominant one,
if that be his choice, but with the distinct
reservation that he may criticize any of its
policies with all the vigor which to him
seems proper—any other as his convictions
dictate, even if it be his decision, one which
holds that the theory of government of the
country is wrong and should be scrapped.
He does not believe, if his party is out of
power, that the only way in which it can
come into power is through a bloody revo­
lution.
He converses with friends, even with
chance acquaintenances, expressing freely
his opinion on any subject without fear.
He does not expect his mail to be opened
between posting and receipt, nor his telephone
to be tapped.
He changes his place of dwelling and does
not report so doing to the police.
He has not registered with the police.
He carries an identification card only
in case he should be the victim of a traffic
accident.
He thinks of his neighbors across inter­
national borders—of those to the north as
though they were across a state line, rather
than as foreigners—of those to the south
more as strangers since they speak a language
different from his, and with the knowledge
that there are now matters of difference be­
tween his government and theirs, but of
neither with an expectancy of war.
He worships GOD in the fashion of his
choice, without let.
His children are with him in his home,
neither removed to a place of greater safety
if young, nor, if older, ordered ready to serve
the state with sacrifice of limb or life.
He has his problems, his troubles, his
uncertainties, but all others are not over­
shadowed by the imminence of battle and
sudden death.
He should struggle to preserve his Amer­
icanism with its priceless privileges.
He is a fortunate man.
He is an American.

The Forum
Home Festival Successful—
The Harvest Home festival on
Sunday, November 19th, was one of
beauty and inspiration. The dry
season seemed to cast a question as
to the possible products of the
land with which to decorate. Those
who attended, however, were de­
lighted with the great variety and
beauty of the arrangement. There
were squashes better than the aver­
age,shocks of corn well placed and
even the cheering smile of the sun­
flower more than eight feet tall.
Not least in decoration was a rab­
bit resting in a cage on the plat­
form, from the Weed farm. At the
pot-luck dinner in the hall more
than 80 people partook of the sump­
tuous feast.
Hunt Hawk»—
Maurice Graves and Ronald
Fetsch have been hunting Chicken
and Cooper’s hawks for the past

The hawks are found to be attempt­
